Walkthrough[]
"An old, leatherbound book rests on the table."
- <Examine the old book.> "<This musty tome details the exploits of Ranev the Coal-Eyed Wanderer, a Nedic hero who completed a pilgrimage called the ""Gray Passage."" Apparently, those who perform the pilgrimage earn the favor of the Stars—if they complete it quickly enough.>"
- <Continue studying the old book.> "<It appears that Ranev's pilgrimage began and ended at a standing stone to the southwest of Dragonstar known as the "Gray Menhir." The other destinations are scattered throughout Craglorn, deep within various caves and tombs.>"
- I'll travel to the Grey Menhir and undertake Ranev's pilgrimage.

The Vestige will be first introduced to Ranev when reading the book The Raneviad, Volume II, which tells a tale about Ranev the Coal-Eyed Wanderer, a Nedic hero who sought to honor ancient heroes. To do so, she traveled to the Stone of Hosiven. There, she discovered Grey Mehnir, a giant standing stone. While still amazed by its size, words started appearing in it:
Heed the Stars, O pilgrim, and undertake their quest. Seek their six virtues, hewn into stone. Bear each command with a noble heart and return with the utmost speed. For only the swift and the just shall receive celestial favor.
After reading the words carved into the rock before her, she swore to undertake the quest in order to gain the favor of the Stars.
After reading the book, the Vestige will be tasked with an identical quest; Visit Grey Mehnir and complete the pilgrimage. After reaching Grey Mehnir, the Vestige will have to visit six prayer markers, all located deep within Craglorn's most dangerous caves and tombs, they will have exactly two hours to do so.
The Pledge of Vigilance[]
The Pledge of Vigilance is located within Serpent's Nest, in northern Craglorn. The prayerstone can be found in the southern corner of the room the Lamia sisters are located in.
The Pledge of Obedience[]
The Pledge of Obedience is located within Loth'Na Caverns, in northern Craglorn close to the Fortified Nirncrux Mine. The caverns are populated by several snakes, as well as multiple Scaled Court members. The prayerstone can be found in the northwestern corner of the caverns.
The Pledge of Simplicity[]
The Pledge of Simplicity is located within Exarch's Stronghold, in the Valley of Scars. When the Vestige enters the stronghold, they will notice a large, stone bridge. To find the prayerstone, the Vestige will have to cross this bridge and make it to the area Agganor is located in. The prayerstone can be found in the same area.
The Pledge of Piety[]
The Pledge of Piety is located within The Howling Sepulchers, an ancient Nedic burial ground populated by Draugr. To reach the prayerstone, the Vestige will have to go southwest directly after entering. After reaching the lowest part of the ravine, the Vestige will have to slay several skeletons, then climb over the waterfall.
